Remember the thrill when discovering one of your favorite bands would release a new album? I still have it. This year we expect a new Tool album and very shortly one from Soen, my go to prog rock/metal band of the last two years. Great was my surprise that before you can even order the new Soen album, all songs are pre-released on Spotify and Deezer… kind of a buzzkill because, off course, you’ll go an have a listen. And with that you lose part of the magic of opening a CD for the first time (after spending way too long trying to unwrap it without breaking the jewel case). I just love going through the first few listenings of the album with a booklet in hand, reading the lyrics, checking on who produced it, where it was recorded… I don’t have many rituals in my life, but this is surely one. And one I have no intentions of stopping. Soen - Lotus https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLSh0E0Rikc Out on vinyl & cd on February 1st 2019
